Second major attempt at what will be a long endeavor in underwater photography. Still don't have it down nearly like I want, still amazed at how HARD underwater photography is, and still haven't pulled out all the stops and props, but HAPPY with some of these results. blueskyandhardrock came and stayed with me, meeting for the first time and we had a BLAST. We went out on the town and shot some film and then I threw her in my pool. She rocks like no other! (I need an assistant for this sort of thing...)

Dippemess is a tradition which dates back to the 14th century. At that time, the Maamess, as it was then called, was a medieval market for domestic articles. Potters from the Westerwald, Kannebäckerland and Urberach came here to sell their wares, especially their ceramic bowls and pots. These were known in the Frankfurt dialect as 'Dippe' from which the event soon took its name. Over the years, more and more fairground booths and popular attractions joined the market as well.
The Dippemess today is Frankfurt’s largest fair and a lot of fun :)

Dolphins are swimming in the early spring sky.
Shot dolphins first at an aquarium. After finished whole a roll I set it again into LC-A and then start shooting at an amusement park. There are only a few nice results and this is the best one. Tough challenge but worth trying :)

I used Kodak Ultramax 400 film, but treated it as though it was a 200 since I was exposing the wrong side. I used a green filter on many of the shots and set the ISO to 100 to complicate for the loss of light this caused - it was a nice sunny day and so this was not a problem.
